Forget that Lala thing. (Order to myself.) No really, just flipped through a friend’s copy of it and ah, it’s not my preferred manga style I guess.
My family is so nice to me. All of a sudden. Well, they’re trying all the time especially my dad but I won’t let that get too close. It’s just that if you feel like you haven’t had a father for about 18 years he can’t expect me to be all friendly after all that time. Now it’s my turn to ignore. It’s so much better for my mental health, really. Argh it hurts. That’s why I usually don’t talk about things like that here. (I simply can’t.)
And I think that’s basically the reason why I need all that lovey-dovey shoujo romance stuff at the moment. Because it’s cozy and comforting. I can’t put up with too much angst stuff because I’m all angsty myself and because it confuses me even more.
Is there some sort of dream analyzer among you, dear readers? What does it mean to dream you’re flying (without actually having wings, just flying… I don’t know how) every night?
I’m growing more and more bored with Asuka: X is fine but I buy the tankoubon anyway, the same goes for Gohou Drug; there are no other series I’m following in Asuka at the moment… there will be something new from Kazumi Yuana in Asuka 8 so I’ll wait for that and see if I like it. If I don’t I’ll have to find a new magazine I can read monthly. It’s kind of difficult though cause you either find mags with romance-only or fantasy-only stories in them… and even though I’m buying Asuka mainly for it’s fantasy stories, I’ve liked the debut yomikiri that were more comedy and romance oriented best (like the two stories by Ama Mianko — or is it Amami Anko? there’s only hiragana so I can’t say for sure). I’ve ordered a whole bunch of mags to see if I like the stories in them. I noticed I should’ve ordered Lala too (I didn’t think of Hakusensha mags >_<)... Oh well, I do that in a month or so.
I’ve had so much free time in the last three days and I’ve read a few manga tankoubon. Two of them were Akuma de sourou 4 and 5. I’m enjoying this series more and more. It’s probably one of the cheesiest stories I’ve read in a long time, but it’s cheesy in a serious, touching way (not in a cheap, kiddy-story type way). Well and that’s basically what I like best about it: it’s touching and serious… Kayano is alright (her constant crying can be a bit annoying at times), so are all the other characters (all very well developed, all with their own background stories). I loooove the fashion in the manga. It’s awesome! I must say I adore Takanashi-sensei for her fashion taste^^ Well, it basically matches my own and that’s why I sometimes enjoy just looking at the character’s clothes as much as I enjoy flipping through Kera. It’s such a shame Akuma de is ending very soon. The last chapter started in Margaret 6. I hope Takanashi-sensei will start publishing a new series soon!
I’ve also been watching a few new anime series. Short impressions:
.hack//SIGN - the first episode wasn’t to thrilling, too RPG-ish. The music was too loud at times, I couldn’t make out the dialogue very well (oh well there were subtitles, but…). The series started to get me with episode 2 though… It has that certain bit of mystery that it needs to keep me interested. Can’t wait to see more of it! (It’s been licensed a few days ago, so fansubs are hard to get. I’ll wait for the commercial release then.)
Chobits - hmmmmm. The animation is well done, so is the voice-acting. The opening and ending are the usual anime j-pop. The story is a bit different than in the manga, I like it nevertheless. The whole magical maid-parody CLAMP style concept is cool, I’m just hoping it’ll get a bit darker (not like I want anything to happen to Chii, no no).
RahXephon - I love it! Wasn’t too thrilled when I saw the first episodes a few months ago but the more I watch of it the more I fall in love with it^^ Ah yes, Yuuya loves mecha stories… I’m glad there’s neither a whiny Shinji-type character nor a in-your-face-sexy kind of girl character in there. I especially love the more quiet and serious parts (even though the action-packed fight scenes are awesome). I’ve also noticed that the ending theme sounds a bit like the ending theme of Please save my earth… I haven’t watched PSME for years but I think the styles of both songs are very very similar. Oh well, it’s one of Yohko Kanno’s typical styles I guess. I like RahXephon’s OP (Hemisphere) better though (as stated a few months earlier, Maya-chan is great in that song!).
scube saw Kagrra in Osaka on Sunday. She told me their concert was great and she got to touch Akiya! *_* She also bought me the pamphlet, CDs and postcardset I wanted… wai wai!!!
Instead of complaining about the weather, I should’ve mentioned that yuukitenshiNET got a new layout last night. Pigeons pigeons pigeons Nero pigeons. I’m quite satisfied with it, as much as I’m satisfied with basically anything with Nero on it. (Whee, spot my obsession…)
Argh, the PS Company’s site is back up and there’s nothing new there (neither at the main site nor Due’le’s page). Oh well and now the girls at euki’s BBS discuss the possibility of Due’le breaking up >_< (---and Kagrra too ;___;). Noo, they're not. Why should they? Due'le maybe cause there not going anywhere, but not Kagrra. No.
*fanfan* It’s so hot here… When I came home I had this throbbing headache because of the heat. We either get sort of polar temperatures or cooking hot weather, there’s nothing inbetween.
Baroque had a secret live on May 18. Cameron has a live report up at Glam Japan. Kei is wearing that blue nail polish again *^-^*
Oh. my. GOD! Something’s happening, something’s happening! Yesterday I posted about kra possibly getting a contract with PS Company and guess what I think is going to happen?… Due’le might be going major @_@! I was at Kagrra’s official site and at the same time I was reading the latest posts on a euki’s BBS. And a few girls on there said that Due’le were going major in September. So I decided to check Due’le’s official site and pushed the back button in the Kagrra site browser window because I entered it through PS Company’s main page and then their site went down… and it still is. When I was at their main page, they didn’t say anything about Due’le going major… maybe they’re updating it right now… or maybe I’m just being hysterical -_- Aaaahh.
There’s nothing better than waking up with a bug on your forehead… -_- No really. I was moving my index&second finger to my forehead while I was sleeping, must have subconsciously noticed something moving over my skin and urgh, suddenly I felt this thing between my fingers and I woke up and ewww. I was kind of disoriented because a had been in the middle of a dream just a second ago and I didn’t know if I had dreamt that whole bug-on-my-forehead thing. So I looked on the floor if there was a spider or bug but found nothing. Then I looked behind me and there it was: a black ugly bug right there on my bed sheets >_< Took a piece of paper and erm, send him to bug heaven. I'm not sorry about that. He woke me up while he was walking across my forehead. See, it's all his fault!
Ah yes, the gross details of my live.
Scube left for Japan today. Lucky girl. She’ll get me the two Kagrra singles they only sell during the current tour. They’ll also sell a video for Yume izuru chi at their tour final (June 16 or something). Only at that one show ;_; That’s fucking unfair -_- It’s limited to 500 copies and sells for 2000 yen and I bet that it’ll sell for something insane like 5000 yen if the folks from Third Stage or Guruguru happen to get a few copies. I won’t pay that much for just one video clip… oh I know I will >_< I wouldn't pay that much for baroque, not even for Kagerou... for a Kagrra video I would though. (I hope they have an idea of how much they make their fans suffer (financially)).
Oh, and are Kra going to get a contract with PS Company? That’s exactly what they need: a baroque-like band so they can milk even more fans >_< Not like they’re already making enough money with Due’le and Kagrra…
Yatta! Black sheep is online!
It looks crappy in 800×600… so what? I can’t be bothered at the moment. -_-;
Now excuse me while I collapse on top of the stack of emails I still need to reply to z_z
